"With this integration Vertafore and iPipeline are working to make it easier for carriers and agents to stay compliant and improve the quality of the data in the sales process, so that they can better serve the end-insured."

"We are excited to partner with Vertafore to help improve the application process for our mutual customers," added Bill Hunter, senior vice president of sales at iPipeline. "iGO's smart technology helps guide agents through the application process and guarantees all applications—100 percent—are in good order.
